The buyer (“you”) means any person, sole trader, partnership, business, corporation or other entity detailed in the appropriate section of the sales invoice/order form and shall include all successors, heirs and assigns. Where a person deals entirely as a consumer, their legal rights shall remain unaffected. Any reference to you within these terms and conditions shall be as a consumer buyer unless specified as being a reference to a trade buyer.

In respect of orders placed via the Internet, these shall not be accepted by us until confirmed by us to you, via an email Despatch Confirmation notice.
For orders placed by customers residing within the EU, prices include VAT charged at the rate applicable from time to time. VAT does not apply to orders that are to be shipped outside the EU or to the Channel Islands. However all Goods delivered to Jersey above a certain value (including delivery costs levied by a third party delivery service provider), will be subject to a ‘Goods and Service Tax’ (“GST”) depending on the value of the Goods. It is your responsibility to pay this GST. If the GST is not paid, the delivery service providers will be unable to deliver the Goods. Please note that local tax and customs duty may apply. For full details please consult your local Customs office.
If you select a delivery country outside the EU, prices will be displayed VAT free.
These terms and conditions apply to all of our quotations, orders (including telephone orders) and contracts for the sale or supply of Goods by Alpine Electric Bikes .

THE CONTRACT
After placing an order, you will receive an email from us acknowledging that we have received your order for the Goods, and the delivery services you have requested from the delivery service provider. Please note that this does not mean that your order has been accepted. Your order constitutes an offer to Alpine Electric Bikes to buy Goods. All orders are subject to acceptance by us, and we will confirm such acceptance to you by sending you an email that confirms that the Goods have been dispatched by the delivery service provider (the “Dispatch Confirmation”). The contract between you and Alpine Electric Bikes will only be formed when we send you the Dispatch Confirmation.
The contract will relate only to those Goods whose dispatch (by the delivery service provider) we have confirmed in the Dispatch Confirmation. We will not be obliged to supply any other Goods which may have been part of your order until the dispatch of such Goods has been confirmed in a separate Dispatch Confirmation.
CONSUMER RIGHTS

If you require your Goods to be delivered to you, we will arrange delivery on your behalf with third party delivery service providers.

Alpine Electric Bikes offer 3 ways for UK customers to have their Goods delivered.
Fully assembled bike delivery, if the delivery address is within 200 miles of postcode LE1 4AN (on google maps by driving) then the bike can be delivered to that address fully assembled and ready to ride by Alpine Electric Bikes with one of our own drivers delivering it. Please note that due to batching of deliveries it is not possible for a customer to choose a specific date and time for delivery. The customer will be informed of a delivery day within 30 days of placing the order. If this is not convenient a bike can be sent via courier (see number 2 below) or picked up from a local stockist (see number 3 below). This form of delivery is included in the purchase price of the bike. Please note that if a delivery at the agreed delivery address is unable to be made on the delivery date agreed then a £60 charge will be made due to the bike being undelivered and another delivery having to be rescheduled.
LIABILITY
If the goods we deliver are not what you ordered or are damaged or defective, we shall have no liability to you unless you notify us in writing at our head office (as set out above) of the problem within three working days of the delivery of the Goods in question.
If any goods are alleged to be damaged or defective, you must return such goods to us for inspection and report (without any obligation on us to replace the said goods prior to such inspection). You further confirm that it shall be reasonable for us to inspect, repair or replace (at our option) such defective goods and allow manufacturers to undertake inspections so as to allow production methods to be modified. You further accept that it is reasonable to inform us of any interruption, defect or other failure prior to contacting independent third parties or incurring expense and to allow us to remedy the defect, failure or interruption.
If you notify a problem to us under clause 24, our only obligation will be, at our option:
(a) to replace or repair any goods that are damaged or defective; or
(b) to refund to you the amount paid by you for the goods in question in whatever way we choose.
Save as precluded by law, we will not be liable to you for any indirect or consequential loss, damage or expenses (including loss of profits, business or goodwill) howsoever arising out of any problem you notify to us under these terms and conditions and we shall have no liability to pay any money to you by way of compensation other than to refund to you the amount paid by you for the Goods in question under clause 26 above.

WARRANTY
Warranty for the bikes applies only to the original purchaser of the electric trike or electric bike. The warranty is for a period of five years on the frame and two years on the electrics, batteries, and everything else other than consumables. Consumables are inner tubes, tyres, brake pads, cables etc. This warranty is not transferable.
RETURNED BIKES FOR WARRANTY REPAIRS
If a warranty claim is made by a customer the cost of shipping the goods to and the return shipping from Alpine Electric Bikes for the repair is to be paid for by the customer.
THROTTLE ON BIKES AND TRIKES
If one of our electric bikes or trikes has a throttle on it will be disconnected when delivered. The throttle is to only be connected up during off road / highway riding.
TIME LIMIT FOR RETURNED BIKES
Once repairs are carried out under warranty on a bike the bike must be collected within 2 days of the repair taking place. This is due to the cost of storing bikes. Alpine Electric Bikes will charge a customer £5 per day over the 2 days that the bike is stored by Alpine Electric Bikes. If Alpine Electric Bikes is unable to get in touch with the customer or the customer refuses to collect a bike for a period of 26 weeks then the bike will be destroyed so as to incur no more storage costs.
INSTALLATION AND USE OF GOODS
Any advice given by our agents or servants during telephone/Internet orders is based entirely upon information provided by you. Where advice is given after visual inspection by our agents or servants, such advice shall amount to an opinion only and we shall not accept liability for any inaccuracies therein. Goods supplied are supplied only to correspond to the purpose for which goods of that kind are commonly supplied and not for any alternative uses to which they may be put. We shall accept no liability for any failure of goods due to any such alternative use, including using the goods to tow other equipment, any amendment or modification.
You confirm that you shall comply with any and all rules relating to installation of the goods and fully accept that we shall not be liable for any loss which results from forced, misdirected, inappropriate or unqualified installation of any goods or not adequately maintained the goods. Furthermore, we shall accept no liability for death or personal injury, unless caused directly by our own negligence.
Any goods or parts of them that are modified or adapted by you or any third party shall no longer be warranted by the manufacturer nor shall we be liable for any failures resulting from any such modification or adaptation.
COMPETITION GOODS
Any goods specified as and supplied as ‘Competition Goods’ are supplied for specialist use and are subject to extreme wear and stress whilst in use. The life expectancy and durability of such goods are greatly reduced and you should note that any claim for failure or wear shall be limited to that of the manufacturers’ guarantees. You agree that such use shall be a relevant circumstance for the purposes of the Sale of Goods Act 1979 (as amended). In addition, any parts connected to Competition Goods may be placed under stress and you should take advice from experts prior to purchase of such parts. You should also be aware that manufacturers may limit their guarantees when parts are installed for competition use.
PAYMENT TERMS
Please note that all website, telephone and mail order payments are taken in full at the time of order, regardless of stock. The total price paid represents an amount to us for the supply of goods, and an amount collected by us on behalf of the delivery service provider for the supply of delivery services.
Quotations are given on the assumption that no variation in the price will be made by the manufacturer/sole importer and that Government levies remain unaltered. In the event of such changes, the price of any orders placed before the variation will remain the same and no further increases will be passed to you.
EVENTS BEYOND OUR CONTROL
We shall accept no liability in respect of any failure to deliver Goods you have ordered or any delay in doing so or for any damage or defect to goods delivered that is caused by any event or circumstance beyond our reasonable control including, without limitation, strikes, lock-outs and other industrial disputes, breakdown of systems or network access, flood, fire, explosion or accident, acts of God, war or actions by third parties.
